Ethereum vs Ripple: What are the differences?
Developers describe Ethereum as "Open source platform to write and distribute decentralized applications". A decentralized platform for applications that run exactly as programmed without any chance of fraud, censorship or third-party interference. On the other hand, Ripple is detailed as "A real-time gross settlement system, currency exchange and remittance network". It is an open source protocol which is designed to allow fast and cheap transactions.
Ethereum and Ripple can be categorized as "Blockchain" tools.
Ethereum is an open source tool with 4.73K GitHub stars and 1.63K GitHub forks. Here's a link to Ethereum's open source repository on GitHub.
